INSTRUCTIONAL METHODS AND TEACHING STRATEGIESThe curriculum employs a variety of instructional methods that support the course objectives
while fostering higher cognitive skills. These methods are designed to encourage and engage
you in the learning process in order to maximize learning opportunities. The instructional
methods include but are not limited to lectures, collaborative learning options, use of technology,
and hands-on activities.
To implement the above-mentioned instructional methods, this course uses several teaching
strategies, such as lectures, collaborative learning options, and hands-on activities. Your
progress will be regularly assessed through a variety of assessment tools including homework
assignments, quizzes, exams, clinical evaluations, and comprehensive final exam.
OUT-OF-CLASS WORKFor purposes of defining an academic credit hour for Title IV funding purposes, ITT Technical
Institute considers a quarter credit hour to be the equivalent of: (a) at least 10 clock hours of
classroom activities and at least 20 clock hours of outside preparation; (b) at least 20 clock
hours of laboratory activities; or (c) at least 30 clock hours of externship, practicum or clinical
activities. ITT Technical Institute utilizes a “time-based option” for establishing out-of-class
activities which would equate to two hours of out-of-class activities for every one hour of
classroom time. The procedure for determining credit hours for Title IV funding purposes is to
divide the total number of classroom, laboratory, externship, practicum and clinical hours by the
conversion ratios specified above. A clock hour is 50 minutes.
A credit hour is an artificial measurement of the amount of learning that can occur in a program
course based on a specified amount of time spent on class activities and student preparation
during the program course. In conformity with commonly accepted practice in higher education,
ITT Technical Institute has institutionally established and determined that credit hours awarded
for coursework in this program course (including out-of-class assignments and learning activities
described in the “Course Outline” section of this syllabus) are in accordance with the time-based
option for awarding academic credit described in the immediately preceding paragraph.

The behavior/response being evaluated has not been consistently demonstrated at a level appropriate for a second-year nursing student. The student continues to need assistance.
Unsatisfactory = UThe student is unable to work at a level that is acceptable for a second-year nursing student. The performance related to this behavior/response has been unreliable and an insufficient amount of growth has been observed.
By midterm evaluation, the student must achieve a minimum 80% “S” or “NI” on evaluated behaviors. A student not meeting this standard will meet with the clinical instructor to develop a learning contract. The student will receive one rating per objective.
By final evaluation, the student must achieve a minimum 80% “S” or higher on evaluated behaviors.The student will receive one rating per objective, each of which is based on one or more behaviors.
